I've pulled every fuse to make sure that wasn't the problem.
I also dissconnected the Stereo, my stereo is actually connected
to the ignition circuit... Probably not right. Every fuse I pulled
didn't turn it off.

But with the stereo disconnected, doors & hood closed I still have
a 11mA drain. Is this normal? (again, I pulled every fuse and it
was still there)

thanks,

Sounds normal. That's about what is typical.

If you have an alarm that is actually quite low - normal is in the 15mA range with alarm.

Your battery capacity is probably about 70Ah - so it would last a long time at that drain level - several months if fully charged - still with capacity to operate the starter.

Question is - since you think you had a problem - what is the drain with all the fuses in?

11mA is the drain with the fuses in, I actually took them out one at a time
with the wife watching a meter to see if it changed.

With the stereo connected, I have a 50mA draw. Not sure why, the
stereo memory circuit should be a lot less than that.

11mA is nothing. you'll always have some drain.

I think my GTS's (both of them...though only ONE seems to drain its new battery...both batteries are new btw) draw close to 300mA when they are all closed up but NOT locked w/ the alarm engaged.
